D. Monitoring the Waste Toner Box

The copier monitors the waste toner box in two levels.

The amount of waste toner inside the waste toner box is checked by the waste toner sensor.

The waste toner sensor is a pair of photosensors (light-emitting cell and light-receiving cell), and

is designed to generate the waste toner full detection signal (TNFDT) when waste toner blocks

the light between the two photosensors.

The DC controller PCB monitors the state of the waste toner sensor at all times; when the

voltage of the waste toner full detection signal (TNFDT) drops below the reference voltage, it

will identify the condition as “pre-waste toner full condition” and will flash the Waste Toner

indicator on the control panel.

When the waste toner box is not set, the light-blocking plate blocks the light between the

photosensors, causing the copier to flash the Waste Toner indicator.
